Rethinking Your Seventh-Day Adventists Beliefs

Very likely, you were raised Seventh Day Adventist (SDA), and now for some reason, you are rethinking the issues and belief system that you embraced for a long time. Seventh Day Adventism has certain doctrinal issues which should be addressed, since most Adventist see themselves as Christian and Biblically-based. With this understanding, we wish for you to consider whether or not SDA teachings are in fact Biblical and are clearly rooted in teachings of Christ and His apostles. Most SDA's are aware of the prophet Ellen White and recognize her as the "spirit of prophecy" for the Body of Christ. Her insights are considered by many SDA's as "illuminating" and a "clearer understanding" of Biblical teachings.

What is here and why

In the pages, of this website, are articles and questions for SDA
members to consider and ponder. It is our deepest concern, that those
who claim the name of Christ, worship Him in Spirit and Truth, and know
who He really is, in fact. Our concern, is that many in the SDA
movement have in fact re-defined Christ and the gospel of grace, and
thus have forfeited their opportunity of Eternal Life with the Father
and Son, and the complete forgiveness of sins, which is the final
promise in the New Covenant. It is our experience that most SDA members
do not even know what the New Covenant really entails.

Ellen G. White and spirit of prophecy

Also, there is a need to consider the teachings of Ellen G. White, her prophecies, the implications of her prophecies and her standing in the eyes of SDA members. One must consider
the historical issues pertaining to her life and teachings, and examine
the origins of this movement. A clear decision is necessary when
viewing the teachings of Ellen White and weighing them in the balance
of the teachings of Jesus and His Apostles. If her teachings are
viewed as equal with Christ and the Apostles, and thus are on par with
Scripture, then it is very likely that one has in fact become an
idolater in the modern sense of the word. This, of course, is not good,
and should be avoided at all cost.

Why is truth often rejected?

Some of the articles here are, in fact, written by former members of
the SDA movement, who thought through some of the same issues which many
are grappling with today. It must be realized, that truth is not an
easy thing to accept. That by nature, we as fallen humans, delight in
falsehood and prefer lies to the truth. We must come to understand that
truth usually comes to us at a great expense on the part of someone
else, and especially on the part of the Son, who gave Himself for us.
And we must understand that if we receive truth, it will usually cost us
something very dear to us, even our own life. This was the case with
the apostles. Even the apostles had great difficulty in receiving the
truth as it was expressed by the Messiah. When Jesus spoke of his
coming rejection by the leaders of the Jewish people and His death by
crucifixion, the apostles could not believe what they were hearing from him.
Peter was so perplexed that he rebuked Jesus and told him that nothing
like this should happen to Him. Unfortunately, Peter at that point
became a mouth piece for Satan himself and was sternly rebuked by Jesus.
And this is just one case in the Bible where men are confronted with
truth. Consider, Noah, and how well received his message was in his
day. And Jeremiah's words were completely rejected by all Israel and the
King. Isaiah, asks, "who has believed our report". John the Baptist
stated that "no man receives His testimony", referring to Christ
Himself. The mere presenting of the facts does not usually change the
hearts of men, because men are depraved and defiled sinners, dead in
sin and helpless to save themselves. They need a Savior who is Christ
the LORD.

Our Challenge to You!

Our challenge for you is to Rethink Adventism and gain Eternal Life and the Complete Forgiveness of Sins, and to know Christ who is the LORD God Almighty.

No Scriptural Support for the "Investigative Judgement" Doctrine! ---- Surprise!!

The
Leading Adventist Theologians and Hebrew Scholars have admitted to
being unable to find support in Scripture for the central doctrine of
the SDA church, The Investigative Judgement.

Ted
Wilson, church president says that ".........without the central
doctrine of the Investigative judgement, the SDA Church has no reason to
exist".
